Ocean Grove Barwon Heads Lions Club helped raise $996.25 for NSW and Queensland flood victims.
The club placed yellow duck money boxes inside local businesses in Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads and all of the money raised will go to helping the recent flood victims, who suffered as a result of Cyclone Debbie.
“We thank all the businesses who took it on and of course all the people for their generous donations,” Ocean Grove Barwon Heads Lions Club president Lloyd Smith said.
“We placed our Lions money boxes and an appeal notice in many businesses and collected them after the Easter weekend.”
The money was handed over to the Ocean Grove branch of the Bendigo Bank and it will go straight to Lismore Lions Club.
“The Bendigo Bank has supported the Lions for many years,” Lloyd said,
